This book has stolen my heart. It’s so wonderfully written, and so absolutely, insanely clever. It’s been a really long time since I read a book that struck so many chords in me, brought out so many emotions, and brought out a large amount of huge, no-holds-barred, fangirl grins.

Rey is the main protagonist in the new Star Wars film, Episode VII: The Force Awakens, and she is fantastic. But too many of us are fixated on where she came from instead of how amazing she is, and how well she represents women-kind the galaxy over.

So I recently purchased the latest version of Disney Infinity, version 3.0. I am currently working on a review for the game, which will have a lot of footage and cute in-game easter eggs and things, which are going to take a bit more game play and editing to make it as awesome as this game deserves it to be, so for now, I just wanted to tease you all with a short clip from the Mos Eisley section of the Rise Against the Empire playset. Enjoy! So riding a Bantha is super cute, and the exploration in the game alone can bring days and days of entertainment, let alone the awesome and fun storylines and more involved gameplay. Hope to bring you my full reviews of this game soon! I will be reviewing three separate aspects of the game, the Toybox, the Star Wars™: Twilight of the Republic Play Set, and the Star Wars™: Rise Against the Empire Play Set. And of course, the Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ Play Set when it comes out at the …

I have always sworn by the motto ‘The Book is Better than the Movie’, but in this case, I am still yet to read the book.* However, I LOVED this movie. It is the perfect balance of quirk, mystery, adventure and laughs.
*(please don’t kill me! I’m starting the book right now…)

I have a book addiction. Seriously, I can’t go into a bookstore without buying books, and I go into bookstores a lot. Ergo, I have a lot of books sitting on my shelves at the moment that are still waiting to be read. But they look so pretty, sitting there, waiting. There are well over two dozen books sitting on my To Be Read (TBR) list at the moment, but here are the top five on that list that I can’t wait to read: (Hover over the titles/authors for links to more information) 1. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick I know very little about this book, and that’s partially why I’m so excited to read it. I suppose, I tend to love any book that tackles the taboo. Such as I loved Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, or even Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, this book also tackles those ever taboo issues in high school. I haven’t read any other of Matthew Quick’s books, but I saw the film of Silver Linings …

Since I was a little girl, I’ve been in love with Star Wars. My dad and I would watch them together, and I used to love the loud sounds and fast flying. Heck, I was even young enough when the prequels came out to think I liked them, at least until Episode III when I realised I was wrong and the original trilogy was the only one that really mattered. I loved the animated series’ that came along too; and played a lot of the games, especially Pod Racing on the N64. Star Wars was, and is, a huge part of what makes me Me. Not to mention the amazing lego sets! I love how inter-generational Star Wars is, how it has engaged kids and adults alike since the late 70s and still continues to grab new fans to this day. And I am hella excited for the new episodes coming over the next few years starting this December. J J Abrams looks to be doing a mighty fine job, so fingers crossed we …

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to see Jamie Oliver give a live talk at the Sydney Opera House. He was charming and funny and cooked some amazing food (sadly we didn’t get to eat any), but we did get a live performance from the Wiggles! But cooking aside, Jamie was here for a reason – to promote the notion he refers to as ‘Food Revolution‘. The idea is that kids should be taught about food as early as possible, to cook it and to work with it – to recognise what is good for us, and bad; to learn tastes, flavours, combinations, even how to grow it. This idea can lead to amazing change within our nation, and the world, and will lead to a healthier, more sustainable future, for everyone. Jamie believes that we each have the power to promote change, and that we can all band together to help make our governments see that this is a good move forward for the future generations, and will benefit our society as a whole. “My wish is to …

Ed Sheeran is pure genius. I love his music, and I love his image and his whole attitude. Ed is just a stand-up guy, a great person with the power to do good (and he does!), and the man delivers when it comes to a live performance. There is a huge difference between being a ‘singer’ and being a ‘performer’, and Ed is definitely the latter.
